- If `PreBindPreFlight` returned `Skip`, the scheduler didn't run the plugin at `PreBind`.
  If any `PreBindPreFlight` returned `Success`, the scheduler put NominatedNodeName to the pod 
  so that other components (such as the cluster autoscaler) could notice the pod was going to be bound to the node. ([#133021](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/133021), [@sanposhiho](https://github.com/sanposhiho)) [SIG Scheduling and Testing]

- Added to `MutableFeatureGate` the ability to override the default setting of feature gates, to allow default-enabling a feature on a component-by-component basis instead of for all affected components simultaneously.

## Changelog since v1.27.10

## Changes by Kind

### Feature

- Add process_start_time_seconds to /metrics/slis endpoint of all components ([#122750](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/122750), [@richabanker](https://github.com/richabanker)) [SIG Architecture, Instrumentation and Testing]
- Kubernetes is now built with go 1.21.7

- kubeadm: all master components are now exclusively relying on the `PriorityClassName` pod spec for annotating them as cluster critical components. Since `scheduler.alpha.kubernetes.io/critical-pod` annotation is no longer supported by Kubernetes 1.14 this annotation is no longer added to master components. ([#73857](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/73857), [@ereslibre](https://github.com/ereslibre))...

This API provided status of etcd, kube-scheduler, and kube-controller-manager components, but only worked when those components were local to the API server, and when kube-scheduler and kube-controller-manager exposed unsecured health endpoints. Instead of this API, etcd health is included in the kube-apiserver health check and kube-scheduler/kube-controller-manager health checks can be made directly against those components' health endpoints. ([#93570](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/93570),...

* calico-node addon tolerates all NoExecute and NoSchedule taints by default. ([#57122](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/57122), [@caseydavenport](https://github.com/caseydavenport))
* Allow kubernetes components to react to SIGTERM signal and shutdown gracefully. ([#57756](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/57756), [@mborsz](https://github.com/mborsz))

- kubelet: added `KubeletConfiguration.subidsPerPod`. ([#130028](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/130028), [@AkihiroSuda](https://github.com/AkihiroSuda)) [SIG API Machinery and Node]
